Sideview utils pulldown stopped working after upgrading to Splunk 5

[tsmithsplunk]

After the Splunk 5 upgrade, a dashboard using a Pulldown module malfunctioned. I'm using Sideview Utils 1.3.5. The specific error msg is "ERROR - Pulldown is configured statically but with only a single static option."

I also get various errors when saving the view:
"Misconfigured view 'uit_usage' - Unknown parameter 'valueField' is defined for module Pulldown. Make sure the parameter is specified in Pulldown.conf."

"Misconfigured view 'uit_usage' - Unknown parameter 'staticOptions' is defined for module Pulldown. Make sure the parameter is specified in Pulldown.conf"

Perhaps Sideview utils needs to be reinstalled?

here's the view xml:

Well your view is using params that only exist in Sideview Utils 2.X, so clearly that app has a dependency on Sideview Utils 2.X, and not 1.3.5.

I'm thinking that in your upgrade to Splunk 5, you inadvertently reverted from a recent Sideview Utils to the very old 1.3.5 version?

http://sideviewapps.com/apps/sideview-utils

and if you want to read the release notes you can see valueField and staticOptions in there:

and remember to get on the mailing list so you can get a litlte email when there are new releases.

That must be it. I looked back in my notes from a year ago when sideview utils was first installed and I had v2.2.2. I have no idea how 1.3.5 got installed. I have informed IT and I'm sure once the new version gets installed things will start working. Many thanks!

Does anyone know if the sideview utils Pulldown module can use a saved search? I've been tinkering with this and it appears like the Pulldown is not recognizing the upstream SavedSearch.
